Business for Sale Overview:

Established in 1938 and under the control of the current owners since 1969 this very profitable retail outlet, located on Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica, perhaps one of the most fashionable cities in California, is a veritable Aladdin’s Cave of everything that is British. Whether it’s an American looking for that very special gift or a homesick Brit looking for a taste of the homeland this is the place to go. As well as providing a very busy DVD sales and rental service this business sells as wide a range of British foods as you can imagine including all the favorites like Branston Pickle, HP Sauce, PG Tips tea, Marmite, Turkish Delight and many, many more.

Property Features and Assets:

The premises, located in the center of a busy mini shopping mall directly on Wilshire Boulevard, are approximately 2,000 square feet with three quarters of the available space dedicated to retail sales; the remainder used for storage and administration. There are two parking spaces. There is also more than adequate public parking within easy walking distance of the store.

Market Competition and Expansion:

Being in such a prime location the premises are themselves a very cost effective advertising hoarding. Unique in its operation and with a loyal and frequent customer base this business has no need to advertise enjoying the most powerful form of marketing: word of mouth recommendation.
